Tibet
A special permit is required to visit Tibet, the remote area north of India that has been unwillingly occupied by China since the 1950s, its political situation adding to its fascination for travelers who take the trouble to holiday in Tibet. The region consists of a plateau surrounded by towering mountains, including the mighty Himalayas.more Most of the cities and towns are congregated in the south, including the capital, Lhasa, with its ancient Royal tombs. Remote monasteries and stunning scenery promote reflection and tranquility.
